Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, demonstrating good command of English. Consider expanding on why you prefer these activities and what aspects of them you find most enjoyable. Adding more detail and specific examples would further strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There's some repetition and self-correction ("so", "secondly and secondly"). Improving the flow and reducing hesitations would significantly improve the score. Try to plan your answer briefly before speaking to avoid such issues.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the answer conveys the message clearly, using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'interrupts to me to focus on the movie,' consider 'distracts me from the movie' or 'prevents me from concentrating on the movie'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar contains several errors. There are issues with sentence structure ("when I have a free time I will I prefer..."), tense consistency, and article usage. Focusing on accurate grammar and sentence construction is crucial for a higher score. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
